Deposit transaction need to have tags Group-PAIN008 and Payment-Waiting
Portfolio has one account with approved or pending mandate

Steps to create Mandate payment collection file
Go to transactions view Direct Debit - Payment-Waiting. All transactions waiting to be sent for payment collection are listed.

The process will create one XML file that should be sent to the Bank. In addition it also creates an xls-file with more easily read data about the payments to be collected. Download the file(s) to your local computer from the download icon. If some data is missing (e.g. transaction not linked to an account with an approved Mandate), it will also create a validation error file which can be used to check what data is missing.
Click “Done“
Clicking Done button will change transaction tag from Payment-Waiting to Payment-Sent. File will then also be saved to /opt/tomcat/temp/Payments/outbound.
Manfully upload the file(s) to the bank e.g. using a FTP client such as Filezilla.
Response files
When the bank has received the file(s), they will send response files (pain.002 and/or camt.053) which is to be imported to FA. Pls see Import payment response files for Direct Debit from the bank
